“Bendita La Hora”: The Podcast That Turns Crises Into Learning Experiences

(MENAFN- Costa Rica News) The post “Bendita La Hora”: The Podcast That Turns Crises into Learning Experiences appeared first on The Costa Rica News.

Amidst a saturated environment of promotional interviews, Bendita la Hora Podcast offers a different perspective on personal crises and their transformation.

The first season is now available with eleven episodes on YouTube and other digital platforms.

Each episode features figures from the entertainment and communications industries who recount moments of breakdown and reconstruction.

The project seeks to show that even the hardest experiences can become learning opportunities and sources of purpose.

The conversations address grief, anxiety, illness, family breakdown, discrimination, and identity or professional crises.

The approach avoids drama and prioritizes reflection on the process of recovery and inner meaning.

The podcast becomes a collective exercise in mental health and empathy with those going through similar processes.

Guests include Barbara Islas, Manuel Balbi, Giselle Blondet, Lourdes Stephen, William Valdes, and Gonzalo Hermida.

In each episode, the microphone amplifies not fame, but personal and emotional reconstruction.

The host, Christopher Barquero, brings a sensitive perspective based on his own experience of overcoming adversity.

After facing anxiety and depression, Barquero understood the importance of speaking from a place of vulnerability and empathy.

With a career at CNN, Televisa, and Telemundo, he combines journalistic rigor with conscious listening.

His style avoids correction or judgment and allows each guest to shine with authenticity.

Bendita la Hora offers a safe space in times of noise and polarization, where stories are heard with respect and purpose.

More than just entertainment, the podcast invites us to recognize that growth can also occur in the dark.
